Z Showcase #1

The number of WebGL experiences is growing by leaps
and bounds. Z has selected the best from among the many latest remarkable creations
in WebGL for you.

Air BnB, interactive map:This interactive map created for Air BnB using WebGL collects numerous statistics on the different destinations offered by the site members.https://www.airbnb.de/map

Omm experience:An aptly-named project: an experience in which interactivity is key as the user can make the story progress without having to press the “next” or “ok” buttons. A great example of the creativity allowed by WebGL.http://ommexperience.com/

Void:Like Omm, this experimental project lets the user interact with WebGL animations. Here, ideas are associated with shapes and movements on the basis that “all art is created from nothing into something”.http://void.hi-res.net/

Bjork:The minimalistic browsing of the site gives weight to the visual ambiance designed in WebGL.http://bjork.com/

Curiosity:This experience allows viewers to journey along with the one-ton rover on its Martian expeditions. The program simulates Mars in 3-D based on actual data from Curiosity and NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), giving users first-hand experience in a day in the life of a Mars rover.http://eyes.nasa.gov/curiosity/

Divergent:To promote the second part of the Divergent saga, the user can relive, through this website, the nightmarish personality tests seen in the film. The fascinating WebGL animation takes us to the heart of a game where the aim is to overcome the different challenges.http://www.thedivergentseries.com

Immersive reading:A project that illustrates a text through an interactive 3D with a dynamic audio background.http://cabbi.bo/enough/

Social experiment: A website that uses Twitter to collect data on the rate of happiness in different London areas. The user can view each area on a map and measure different rates (social interaction, violence, citizens actions, etc.).http://www.thehappyforecast.com/region-select/
